The United Kingdom is gearing up to manufacture up to 60 Boxer infantry armored vehicles. These highperformance machinery will cater to both the needs of the British Army and markets across Europe and beyond.

Production of the Boxer Armored Fighting Vehicles [AFVs] will take place in facilities at Telford and Stockport. Current reports suggest that both plants are expanding their production capabilities to accommodate this new project. The UK has plans in place to acquire a total of 623 vehicles of this kind. The first batch of 117 vehicles will be made in Germany, while the remainder – a hefty 506 – will roll off the production lines in Telford and Stockport.

On July 19, the UK Ministry of Defence shared its plan to acquire between 400 and 600 Boxer vehicles. They’re even considering the possibility of adding up to 900 more. This could bump up the total purchasing number to a whopping 1500 units. Given the UK’s ambitious order and their renewed partnership, we’re now exploring potential local manufacturing and export opportunities for these Boxer vehicles.

ARTEC affirms the ability of the vehicle to resist the force from antipersonnel and large antitank mines of an unspecified type, be it under the wheel, platform, or even side attack. Additionally, early statements suggest that the Boxer’s primary armor holds resistance to 14.5 mm armorpiercing ammunition in conformity with STANAG 4569 Level 4.
